    Yesterday I saw my first VIOS taxi. A thought came to my mind, does toyota have a ban against the use of the VIOS as taxis in the Philippines?

    i don't think there's a ban but its a poor choice to use the vios as a taxi as it is far cheaper and easier to maintain the older corolla as a taxi. also, the space is only good for four people comfortably so it isn't really made to be taxi.

    honda lang ata ung me "no taxi" policy...methinks that's the reason why toyota has been beating honda in car sales


    i doubt if they'll use the 1.5L ...mas matipid ung 1.3L, especially if you plan to drive it 10-16 hours a day...still lacking in space though, this VIos...


    hmmmm, baka naman me balak nang i phase out ung old corolla?

    this just show how toyota is so reliable. talagang design for hardwork! and mura pa imaintain.

    toyota rocks!!


    besides meron ba talagang batas na nagbabawal na kung ano gusto mong gawin sa sasakyan mo? wheter taxi or private?
